Well after countless attemps to fix the binding, I found that atleast with mine, if I took the small bearing out in ran smooth, super smooth so I packed some thick grease in the hole. I just got 11 minutes runtime off the stock battery with super slow crawl control, never binded up once. What worse could happen? Stripped gears well they are crap anyways. It is worth a try if yours in not drivable. WIll update if something bad happens.

Update, This thing runs Killer without the small bearing. The shaft has a little wobble to it. But it runs smooth as silk. NO BINDING AT ALL. Runtime with Micro High Roller Pack is over 15 minutes. I have ran it hard to, works great I can crawl really slow with great control. Has anyone else tried it yet????????????

When you take the cover off there will be 2 bearings. The smaller one is at the top right. You will see it as soon as you take the cover off. I just used regular Red High Temp Grease from Wal-Mart mixed with some Diff lube.
